This week I picked up the following titles:
T-Rex: Electric Warrior DVD-A
Issac Hayes: Shaft SA-CD
Miles Davis: Relaxin SA-CD
Wes Montgomery: Incredible Jazz Guitar SA-CD
Bob Dylan: Blood on the Tracks SA-CD
Bob DYlan: Freewheelin' Bob Dylan SA-CD
So far I like what I am hearing from all of these. The multichannel track on T-Rex is especially good, when compared to the stereo track on the disc. Like DSOTM, they went back to the original multi-tracks to make this new mix, while the stereo mix is the original from the 70's, transferred to Hi-res.
Shaft and Miles are also superb, the best I have ever heard these recordings. Never owned a copy of Wes Montgomery before this recent purchase so I have no basis for comparison, but it sounds decent though you can definitely tell the age of the recording.
Dylans are excellent as well.
Just a heads up, I picked all these SA-CD up from BMG music club. I bought one of the Dylans as my enrollment title then got all of Fantasy SA-CD for free (still waiting on the Monk-Coltrane disc). They have a handful of the other Dylans available as well as a few more Fantasy SACD. Probably only about 20-25 SA-CD titles in total available, but still a good way to pick up some decent performances at a decent price.
